Research on colon cancer is heavily funded (I assume). The results we are getting from the research are billowing out of control causing confusion and controversy. Did it ever occur to these people that they might be lookingin the wrong place? There was a familial adenoma polyposis gene that gave people approximately 100% chance of getting colorectal cancer. Also, risk of getting cancer increases if a family member has had it, so now researchers seem to think there HAS to be a gene or collection of genes involved in the development of cancer.
There should be more research on emotions and psychoneuroimmunology in relation to cancer development. It may not have all the answers, but at least it would be a breath of fresh air compared to more stupid molecular genetic bologne!!

That would force them to take into account that patients are individuals and that not all human bodies are EXACTLY THE SAME. What a concept!
